The "buy food" plan has changed

Lu Xin and Jiang looked at each other!

Liu Buqi's story was too unbelievable. His nephew Yue Lingxi had always been regarded as a negative example in the family!

They used to think that it might be the bad atmosphere in the imperial capital that led the sensible and obedient child astray!

Lu Xin often complained that his own sister spoiled the child and made Yue Lingxi a playboy.

Who would have thought that this nephew who was so disappointed with his son would become a son of Qilin! He controls the two most powerful armies in Youzhou!

At such a young age, he can already plan how to compete with big shots like Guannei Hou Yue Wuji!

Lu Xin rubbed his hands repeatedly and paced back and forth in the room! "I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! Lingxi can actually achieve such an achievement!"

Jiang was very observant and had noticed that Liu Buqi had deliberately downplayed some details in his story, which must be some secrets involving Yue Lingxi or Liu Buqi himself!

The fact that her nephew, who holds real power in Youzhou, can entrust her with matters concerning his life and death cannot be explained by simple trust!

Combined with the attitudes of Zhang Xiruo and other followers, it is not difficult to imagine that this woman named Liu Buqi definitely holds a very important position in Youzhou today, and she is definitely not just a concubine attached to Yue Lingxi!

"It's a great blessing for our Lingxi to have a virtuous wife like Miss Liu to assist him! Husband, you and I should both express our gratitude!"

Jiang raised her glass to greet Lu Xin, and the two of them toasted Liu Buqi together!

"Lingxi is right. His aunt is indeed an extremely intelligent person!"

Before setting off, Yue Lingxi had already introduced the family situation to Liu Buqi in detail. Naturally, he introduced the most to Lu Xin and Jiang, the most trustworthy relatives in the family!

After politely drinking a glass, Liu Buqi quickly got to the point, "Uncle, Aunt, regarding the issue of buying grain in Youzhou?"

After hearing this, Lu Xin's excited expression began to turn hesitant!

If I were to say that half a month ago, after discussing with Lu Li, I had every right to make the decision on such a big deal, and I only needed to report to Lu Ren.

But after Yue Wuji launched his rebellion half a month ago, Lu Ren suddenly convened a family meeting and strictly prohibited any large-scale grain transactions without the consent of the head of the family.

Originally, this was a normal reaction of a large family to protect themselves and avoid betting on the wrong horse. The other four elders of the family, including Lu Xin, had no objection!

But if you want to use a large amount of food now, you can only ask the head of the family for permission in advance!

"Alas, it's also because Lingxi has such a bad reputation in the family! I don't know if the head of the family can believe that he now controls such a huge force! Otherwise, I will go ask the head of the family right now!"

“No!”

Jiang and Liu Buqi almost simultaneously stopped Lu Xin, who was about to leave, and smiled at each other.

The next words would obviously be more appropriate for Jiang to say! Liu Buqi wisely ignored Lu Xin, who was looking at the two of them with some suspicion.

"Husband, because my younger sister gave birth to a child out of wedlock and refused to reveal the identity of Lingxi's biological father, the family considered it a disgrace, and my father resigned as the head of the family because of this! This is how the Second Branch of the family got the chance to control the Lu family."

"Later, although the family knew that my younger sister's husband was Yue Fan, the second son of the Marquis of Anguo, because my father had already died of depression, they ultimately let us take charge of the Shang family's Lu, and did not continue the tradition of the eldest branch inheriting the official family's Lu!"

"Tell me, if the Patriarch knew that Lingxi had achieved such great success, would he really spare no effort to help her? If Lingxi can survive this, who can guarantee that he won't affect the status of Guan Jialu from the Second Branch?"

"You are Lingxi's uncle, and the person he has been closest to since he was a child!"

Lu Xin was originally a very good person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to manage the business for so many years! But today, he suddenly got the news about his nephew, and he was so excited that his mind went blank!

Jiang had only finished half of her words when he actually realized what was going on!

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed my nephew's wife. I was just too anxious and distracted! Let's go to bed early today and let me think of other workarounds!" Lu Xin came to his senses and finally showed the shrewdness of the businessman at the helm.

After a tiring day, Liu Buqi moved into the guest room with Bai Jinjing under Jiang's arrangement.

"Madam, your performance today is different from what we agreed upon. Will it disrupt Master Zhu's plan?"

Before entering the Lu Mansion, according to the original plan, they had to wait for Liu Buqi to stay in the mansion and find an opportunity to persuade the head of the family to come.

But Liu Buqi realized from the attitudes of the Patriarch and his aunts that it would be extremely difficult to persuade the Patriarch! Instead, it would be safer to directly contact Lu Xin, who was close to Yue Lingxi!

Especially on the way to Lu Xin's house, through the communication between her and Jiang, she made up her mind to directly tell Lu Xin and his wife about her current predicament!

After all, the genuine protection and affection between Lu Xin and his wife really proved what Yue Lingxi said, that the most trustworthy people in the entire Lu family are their own uncle and aunt!

"Alas, there are less than three months left! I have no choice but to drag my uncle and aunt into this!"

After explaining his considerations to Bai Jinjing in detail, he had no choice but to give up his original plan of not wanting to involve Yue Lingxi's relatives, and find a way to solve the problem as quickly as possible!

After instructing Bai Jinjing to arrange for a soldier to secretly go to the Victory Tavern tomorrow to convey the news of the change of plan, Liu Buqi could finally sleep peacefully for a short time.

…

Early the next morning, Jiang brought Liu Buqi to the main hall. Lu Xin and another man who looked somewhat similar to Yue Lingxi but much older and had a mature and steady look on his face were waiting for her arrival.

This person should be Lu Qinghou, the only son of Lu Xin and Jiang, who is also Yue Lingxi's childhood playmate. He is the third child in this generation of the Lu family, and the other two are from the official Lu family!

"Your third brother knew the news that Lingxi sent someone back a long time ago, but a batch of goods suddenly arrived yesterday. He counted the goods in the store all night before rushing back to the mansion." Lu Xin introduced his son to Liu Buqi.

Marquis Lu Qing gave a hearty smile. "Sister-in-law, my father and mother have already told me about Lingxi's current situation. Although our family is the largest grain merchant in Jinan Prefecture, there are three or four other families that have a lot of grain stored. I will use my personal connections to meet with their leaders privately and discuss buying a batch of grain to solve the immediate problem. We can then make a long-term plan for the rest of the matter, okay?"

"Great! Thank you for your concern, big brother! I have a capable subordinate who is also in Jinan Prefecture. Big brother, it's best not to reveal your relationship with Youzhou for now. Just act as a middleman and introduce him to negotiate with the other parties!"

Liu Buqi's "Big Brother" made Jiang Shi, who was listening in, smile! Lu Xin would not correct such an obvious mistake in addressing him!
